Captains Drive-In 2021
It’s official … its the start of the season and following in the traditional manner, today was the Captain’s Drive-In. This was a drive-in with a difference as current restrictions curtailed any social activity associated with the event. Both Graham Brown and Lilian Allison struck superb shots down the fairway and in so doing, became the first Captains of High Gosforth Park Golf Club, our newly renamed club. Well done to you both and best wishes for a successful year in your roles.

Rabbits and Inter season starting soon
Preparations are well underway for the 2021 season for the Rabbits and Inter teams from High Gosforth Park.
The first event for the Inter team is at Wearside GC on 17th April, while the Rabbits start a week later on 24th April at Bishop Auckland GC.
Both teams have 9 fixtures this year and a team of 8 HGP players are required at each event.
For the 2021 season the handicap range to qualify to play in either team has been amended slightly, where players with a Handicap Index between 7.0 and 14.4 play for the Inter team, while players with a Handicap Index between 14.5 and 28 qualify to play for the Rabbits team.
An HGP male member, over age 18, can play in the events, so if you fancy a game of competitive golf, representing your club, playing in one or at multiple events, please get in touch with Iwan Owen for the Inter team or Tommy Watson for the Rabbits team.
The full fixture lists are posted on the “Rabbits” section of this web site, along with some more general information about the teams.
Momentous Introduction of On Line Booking
We have a target date – start planning your comeback

At last we have a date for golf restarting if all goes to plan.
Hopefully, by 29th March the sun will be shining, the course will be in great condition and we can get out there and enjoy ourselves again. Between now and then the Section Committees will be working to get ready for the day. There are a number of things that need to be clarified before booking will be open to members, not least of which are; will it be 2, 3 or 4 balls and what tee interval will be allowed. These will need to be clarified by England Golf and the Company.
Additionally, we will have lost a few competitions with the late start to the season and the Section Committees will have to decide which competitions need to be rearranged. So please give us a few weeks to get things clarified and we’ll update you as soon as we have anything new to share.
